its so good choloate-e

Wonderful recipe! Congratulations! I was impressed with your site! Thanks... I love sweets (mostly frosted cakes and bars), and I have just become diabetic. I´ve read that using coconut oil in the place of butter will impair the absorption of sugar, thereby reducing the need for insulin, making it possible for diabetics to eat sweets without wracking their glicemia. I´d like to suggest that you make a book with cake recipes that diabetics can enjoy without harming themselves. Good luck! And keep up the good work!

on the volcano cake recipe what does this mean 2 cups 4X or10X sugar?

By krystyne on February 25, 2012

Thank-You!!!! What an amazing spirit you have. You will never know what an inspiration you have been to me!! My eyes are welling up. I've never written or commented to any celebrity, but needed a cake recipe and who would i turn to but you. Will never forget-saw your story on Oprah-went running thru my house yelling for my son who has suffered with social anxiety and agoraphobia, Paula beat it, and i know you can too. He's doing better not 100% but he will get there. Thank-You again!! God Bless you. Keep on Cooking and Laughing! LOVE and BEST WISHES from my kitchen to yours!

Hi Karen, The "X" refers to how many times the confectioners' sugar has been processed.

Im about to try this cake at home, i hope it works same as it did with you. Im a big fan btw, keep up the great work.

By Malak Krayem on July 26, 2011

Hi Marlene, The 4x or 10x refers to the granule size of the sugar. The bags of sugar you'll find in your local grocery store should have them clearly labeled for you.

I USE TO COOK A FIG CAKE THAT EVERYONE LOVED @ CHRISTMAS THAT ONCE IT WAS COOKED IT WAS NOT SERVED FOR 7 DAYS AND THE OLDER IT GOT THE BETTER IT GOT AND THE MAIN INGRET. IN IT WAS FIG PRESERVES. CAN YOU HELP ME ???????????

By LOU on July 10, 2011

I just want to let you know that I made your volcano cake and it was a hit. my husband who really doesnt like chocolate he loved it. I watch your show every day and night, you remind me of my mother and grandmother. And most of the dishes you make I can use because they arent that spicy, (i have crohns disease) so spicy isnt in my world. Keep up the good work and i will keep watching you faithfully. Cheryl

Made this cake for a church dinner. Everyone who ate it loved it.I had made the Earthquake cake but, this is Super. Thank you.

By Betty Gryder on July 04, 2011

Could you please tell me what is 4x or 10x sugar????

By Marlene Quigley on June 30, 2011

The cake was easy to make, and had good flavor. Mixing in candy to the batter was an excellent idea. It is really soft and incredibly rich. The cream cheese part was good but overly sweet. Next time I may try to use less powdered sugar in that part. If I make this recipe again, I may ommit the chocolate glaze. It seemed to make the cake turn to pudding. I placed it in the fridge over night and it was more solid.

This is the absolute best thing I've ever eaten! I saw this on Paula's show the other day and saved it to my DVR. I couldn't wait to make it for our church dinner this week! I made it with almond joy candy. I've never used almond extract before and was curious if it really even made a difference to the cake. Man, it really added a nice flavor! Paula is a culinary genius; I just adore her! I trust all her recipes in my kitchen!

Dear Ms Paula Dean, I love,love watching your shows and enjoy your recipes. Last year for Christmas my only request for a gift was one of your Recipe Books. I truly admire where you came from how you struggled to raise two terrific young men and are a great success - i'm sure it was very hard and you went to bed very tired and hungry a lot but I'm very glad you succeded !!! Thank you for sharing with us your gift(my hips and butt have expanded) my significant other enjoys when I try a new recipe, my mother blessed me with the gift of being a good cook - I love being in the kitchen. Thank you again and God Bless you and your family. Kathy Kacmar
